Twinks still a HUGE problem

Sockfullafel-illidan · May 28, 2019, 5:38pm

As funny as you post is, Grohg is (I reluctantly say this because of his demeanor lately) correct. Blizzard is smart enough to know how to handle these situations. They are VERY good at giving people what they want.

The issue arrises from the fact that what the people want isn’t good for the game. Many of us believe the removal of twinking was the last nail in the coffin for some aspects of the game, namely, leveling being an actual part of the game, rather than a 60 dollar fee you get to pay before playing.

Pandering to those who have voiced some of the opinions here is exactly how we’ve gotten to the point in the game as we have, where we are all just waiting around for the version of it that came out 15 years ago. I won’t mention which side, but if you know me you know who I’m referring to

They’re very good at giving people what they want?

Diablo Immortal says hi.

Sockfullafel-illidan · May 28, 2019, 5:40pm

They’re very good at giving a MAJORITY what they want.

China says hi Now that I think of it, I think China is to blame for most issues in the game. Lets add some more hatred to Huawei!

China is a HUGE problem!

Can’t post it here, gotta start a new thread.

Sockfullafel-illidan · May 28, 2019, 5:42pm

I’m sure posting about how China is the downfall of WoW will go well on the GD.

Say something negative about pandas there and you’re in for a beating.

No, post it here with the other HUGE problem threads. GD has its problems too.

Rocax-frostwolf · May 28, 2019, 5:44pm

I like your post, Blizzard should definitely listen.

No one will have ever made changes better than me!

Stevienìcks-arthas · May 28, 2019, 5:45pm

That’s a fair point.

It really is a sad state isn’t it, technology and hardware has come so far in 15 years that the concept that we’d be sitting around looking forward to playing a game from back then should be absurd. Guess that just goes to show how far Blizz, and gaming industry in general, has fallen.

Remember when it used to be about actually making good games instead of how big of a pile of cash can we rake in with minimal effort? Pepperidge farm remembers.

This this this. ^

The game now lacks teeth and soul. We wander a threatless world that is not exciting, not dangerous, and nothing happens. Most of us are bored to tears.

Warmode has taken away our pvp excitement. Where is the danger in toggling?
Loot lottery has taken away our choice and the grinds we participated in when we made a choice and pursued it.
BGs used to be places fraught with excitement at any level where people went to match gear AND skill. Now they are “leveling zones”.

Yes, I miss the old game. I miss all of it. The blood, sweat and tears of it all.

It’s no mystery that Classic is generating all the attention. The soul of this game is what we all want back!

Sockfullafel-illidan · May 28, 2019, 5:46pm

Our version of a “Good Game” is a different version of what other players want. Some people just want pets and mounts and transmog and LFR. Others want to level, others want a fair and balanced perfect PVP environment with no gear mattering. Its really just a playerbase problem exacerbated by a few particular design choices around 10 years ago.

If you look at twink threads in the Classic forum, there are some beatiful beatdowns of people cryout out for a way to separate twinks there as well.

Agreed. You could sense their passion back then but not now.

We can has more bags?

Oäk-bloodhoof · May 28, 2019, 5:48pm

At least they did something with flying may not be the best thing but its something

Can’t say the same for vendors though lol

Sockfullafel-illidan · May 28, 2019, 5:49pm

And look at the amount of people saying they’re going to quit just because there isn’t flying yet.

No regard for the damage it would do to warmode. No regard at all. They just want to drop onto world quests mindlessly and get AP.

Oäk-bloodhoof · May 28, 2019, 5:50pm

Yeah toward the end of WOD was when I started to feel the end of passion from them. Some people may feel earlier but that’s when I started to notice less for the game

Grohg-hyjal · May 28, 2019, 5:50pm

They created an MMO that millions of players are paying monthly to play, and you have the nerve to say they aren’t smart simply because you disagree with some of their decisions. Holy high horse…how much money have you given them btw?

Greyhide-khadgar · May 28, 2019, 5:50pm

That’s why WM is such a mixed bag. You can still dismount people but some like mixed risks. But, gotta get that AP.

Jugajr-emerald-dream · May 28, 2019, 5:50pm

Yes we do I will say I’m an advocate for more equal play at max level for a few reasons:

class balancing happens (rarely lately but far more often than low levels)
there is an actual reward for winners only (conquest points). Low level Bgs offer experience even for losses.
scaling exists, though low level pvp might benefit from this rather than segregate a portion of players.

Oäk-bloodhoof · May 28, 2019, 5:51pm

Your right flying is a VERY VERY touchy subject way more then even twinking.

Grohg-hyjal · May 28, 2019, 5:53pm

Why are you playing if you don’t think WoW is a good game? Nobody is forcing you to pay $15 / month to play a bad game, are they?
